The Impact

Significant resources are spent on monitoring and improving the quality and safety of hospital care; however, evidence suggests that this investment is achieving disproportionately limited results. Accreditation and expectations of funders have focused hospital service quality management on compliance, with an over emphasis on the ‘control’ aspect of Juran’s Quality Trilogy. This study compared the impact of the implementation of a strategic quality management system with existing compliance-focused quality management systems in a sample of Australian hospitals. Through action research, mixed methods data were tracked and compared implementation progress and outcomes between four experimental and four control hospitals from 2015 to 2017. While three years was not enough time to observe quality changes resulting from the implementation, three experimental hospitals made high quality care a strategic priority for their organisation and developed organisation-wide processes to achieve it. These hospitals demonstrated that including a strategic quality planning component in quality system design and implementation, as advocated by Juran but absent in many hospital quality systems, was a positive lever for staff commitment to delivering consistently high quality care.

Abstract. Patients with advanced COPD have a high symptom burden that is often multidimensional. Identification of patients who might benefit from palliative care through validated identification tools, multidimensional symptom management, and timely discussion of advance planning are elements of a palliative care approach for these patients and their families. Coordination among stakeholders providing care and support to these patients is central to ensuring high-quality care and meeting all of their needs.
